Well, that won't catch "initial quoting", which means this:
MA>> Foo bar
JE> Baz qux!
Okie dokie!
Some people still use this style, where the first letters from the words
(usually two) in a real name are taken to be used in conjuction with the
quote character. This is why I've used this one:
set quote_regexp="^ *[a-zA-Z]*[>%|:#{}]"
I would thank the person who taught me this quote_regexp personally, if
I'd remember who he is -- anyway, thanks! Although, I could change it a
bit. Something like:
set quote_regexp="^[:space:]+[a-zA-Z]*[>%|:#{}]"
I dunno, but also the '*' after could be possibly removed... although,
I've seen people using quite horrific " JE >>" quoting style... so,
maybe the '*' has to stay there after all...
Just my two cents and my "I-got-used-to-this" thingies. :-)
